Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: The German-Soviet War 1941-1945 is a turn-based World War II strategy game stretching across the entire Eastern Front. Gamers can engage in an epic campaign, including division-sized battles with realistic and historical terrain, weather, orders of battle, logistics and combat results.

The critically and fan-acclaimed Eastern Front mega-game Gary Grigsby’s War in the East just got bigger and better with Gary Grigsby’s War in the East: Don to the Danube! This expansion to the award-winning War in the East comes with a wide array of later war scenarios ranging from short but intense 6 turn bouts like the Battle for Kharkov (1942) to immense 37-turn engagements taking place across multiple nations like Drama on the Danube (Summer 1944 – Spring 1945).

In a lot of the AAR's I see people mention where they units are compared to where they were in reality.

Can anyone recommend a reference book like that?

I've read different accounts, but never anything detailed enough to know where one Army or Division was in relation to the others.

I thought Glantz's book "When Titans Clashed: How the Red Army Stopped Hitler" was very good. Its told more from the Soviet perspective, but it gives details and locations of various units when discussing different phases of the war.

Feldgrau has info on where units were and when I used it to assign new divisions to their historic army groups.
